Flower Market Sunflower Birthday Card

My Cardaholics group card challenge was birthday cards. Since I got my new cartridge, I thought I'd make my card using it. And I thought I'd make one a little more masculine. This is what came out:

Colors of this card:

Sapphire - background. Sanded.

Saffron - flower base

Goldrush - flower outline

New England Ivy - stems

Crystal Blue - background to banner

Chocolate - banner outline and flower center backgrounds

Saddle - center of flower

White Daisy - card base

The center flower's stem is two stems glued together. If I were to have elongated the stem, it would have been out of proportion.

The banner is mounted with Thin 3D Foam. And the flower centers have been "painted" with the Shimmer Glitter pen. I have to say that the pen barfed a little too much for my taste. This was the first card I made using the pen. Subsequent cards didn't have quite so much. : )

So, where did the sunflowers come from? Take a look at page 7. These were cut in three different sizes (although the two smaller ones are close to the same size).

And the title comes from page 39.

The nice thing about using Design Space is that the images come grouped so that when you size the image, everything associated with it stays in proportion. :) That and saving the file for later use.

About Me

I've been in love with Jeanette Lynton's product line since 1994. When my consultant moved, it made sense for me to become an independent consultant with CTMH -- so I did, in 1996.
We've gone from DOTS to Close to my Heart, and I've loved everything along the way.
I am a mother of two beautiful girls, a sister to three great women, and a wife and best friend to my husband of 23 years. Oh, my parents would probably say I'm their favorite too.
For me it's about making personal impressions.
